/ ST.. Paul junction, and good deal of
building los been done out there.
Business is improving.
M. A. Bigford-The market is grad
ually improving, and it is evident we
shall have an active fall trade.
Wall & Parker-The market seems to
be improving right along.
Gruber & Hillis-There is no marked
change i'll the market. The tone is
strong and healthy and there are signs
OF Improvement, but at present, while
there is no special change to note.
Clark q Bryant-BuSiness is fair and
steady, but no rush.
Fallihee & H0lloway-Prices are firm
and there is good deal of inquiry.
Sales are made right along, and while
there is no rush or specially marked
activity, there is good fair trade, with
better coming.
Harrison & Co.-There is a good deal
of inquiry for property all along through
the Rice street district and along Front
street.
Rush B. Wheeler-The inquiry for
property is gradually improving, and
S99iies are as good as can be expected
at this season. The market is all right.
Davidson, BayalII 4 Co.-There is a
good degree of activity, fully as much
as can be expected at this season of tic
year. The market is..healthy and strong
with everything favorable for large
fall trade.
Mcguire Bros.-The demand for, st.
Anthony hill property is greater than
ever, since the asphalt paving has been
put down. Property in the vicinity of
the cable plant, and out along the pro-
posed extension of the line, is greatly
OH OF nj .l,n
wish to build residences, but by South
ern spectators. They regard it as be-
ing gilt edge property. We anticipate
lively trade this fall and expect great
many OF our friends to make purchases,
while visiting the Exposition, State fair
and the great Cleveland reception. The
week has been good one in real estate
circles considering the inclemency of
the weather. Prices are Stiffening on
inside property.
Filter q Flanagan report few sales
this week. Prices are steady and in
guiry with them is brisk. They report
inquiry from some Eastern capitalists
this week with regard to business prop
erty, also blocks and acres in South st.
Paul.
Merrill & Ross-The publication of
articles of incorporation of the Elevated
Electric Motor line between the two
cities is causing big demand for mid
way property. Houses are also in de-
mand and we could rent 100 within the
next thirty days if we had them conven-
lent to street car lines. Business gen
orally is good.
The large corner on the southwest
corner of Fourth and Franklin streets
will doubtless in a short time be Occu-
pied by one of the finest carriage repos-
itories in the Northwest. The plans
for it are now nearly perfected.
NJ. A. Bigford-Business would have
been all that could be wished for this
last week, had the weather been good.
To sell real estate takes good weather.
Inquiries are steady and substantial.
Why people delay buying at the present
is thing hard to comprehend. A
shrewd man will always buy when the
market is quiet. Next month people will
buy and pay 25 per cent more for prop
erty than what it can be bought for to-
day. This is not idle talk, but will
make it point to substantiate what 1
have said here to-day in less than three
weeks time. The market as it is may be
we'll compared with keg of powder and
a lighted match. Touch the match to
the powder and up it goes. This is just
about the condition of the market eX-
actly. Everybody is waiting, one for
Gue otHer, IL you Duy, L Duy, Watching
each other with eagle eyes until it is
touched and then they all rush. You
may look for an explosion at an early
date.
Stone & Morton-Although the month
of August is conceded to be one of the
dullest of the year we have written dur
ing that month seventy-twO contracts
representing the sale of over three times
that number of lots. There are some
indications of a general improvement in
prices.
W. E. Burton-There is considera-
BILE demand for houses in the residence
sections. There would be more sales
did the owners not hold their property
at such figures that the would-be pur-
chaSers find in many cases that per
cent. on the price of property amounts
to considerable more than the annual
rent paid for similar houses.
